Diet Fad Analysis

You may confer and research in learning teams, but individual completion and submission is required for this assignment.

Write a short (not more than 2 pages) paperrr analyzing the validity of a particular diet fad. Be sure to include the scientific rationale for the diet, the benefits, and the potential dangers. The following are examples:

At least three references should be cited in the APA format. Correct spelling and grammar are expected.

In 1987, the Brundtland Convention defined sustainability as finding ways to live today without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. As discussed in Chapter 4, the goal of sustainability was defined by developed, egalitarian-minded, mostly European countries, and the values of the participants impacted how they viewed sustainability. Chapter 4 also discussed that we don’t know what needs will be in the future, therefore we can’t know how sustainable we are in the present.

Think about how you view and define sustainability. How would do those around you define sustainability: ask three people (for example: a parent, a roommate, the TA for calculus office hours, your boss, or a store clerk). Report your answer and the most interesting answer you got from someone else. Did the three people have similar views as you? What surprised you? Is there any overlap with Dr. Allenby’s textbook?

Next, compare this to what past and future generations each would have thought about the concept (or myth?) of sustainability, especially the four components: environmental, economic, social, and cultural sustainability.

meaningful responses to at least 3 classmates’ posts. Posts should be well-written (insightful, understandable, and with good grammar) and should be a minimum of 150 words for your own posts and 50 words for comments on others’ posts.

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to investigate informatics in healthcare and to apply professional, ethical, and legal principles to its appropriate use in healthcare technology.

1. Topic: You receive a message from a peer at work that there is a big investigation being conducted at work due to a HIPAA violation and that it involved a celebrity who had been admitted to the hospital. As a case manager for the hospital, you are given a company cell phone for hospital use because you are on call three days per week. You have pictures of this celebrity you took the other day.  The word is that legal action is being taken against the hospital due to some photos that were sold to the  Gossip Gazette. They ask to search your company cell phone.

Preparing the assignment

Background

Healthcare is readily embracing any technology to improve patient outcomes, streamline operations, and lower costs, but we must also consider the impact of such technology on privacy and patient care.

Your faculty member will provide a scenario for you to address in your paper.

1. Topic: You receive a message from a peer at work that there is a big investigation being conducted at work due to a HIPAA violation and that it involved a celebrity who had been admitted to the hospital. As a case manager for the hospital, you are given a company cell phone for hospital use because you are on call three days per week. You have pictures of this celebrity you took the other day.  The word is that legal action is being taken against the hospital due to some photos that were sold to the  Gossip Gazette. They ask to search your company cell phone.

Choose an ending to the scenario, and construct your paper based on those reflections.

Choose one of the following outcomes:

1. A HIPAA violation occurs, and client data is exposed to the media.

2. A medication error has harmed a client.

3. A technology downtime that impacts patient care occurs, and an error is made.

4. A ransomware attack has occurred, and the organization must contemplate paying the ransom or lose access to patient data.

1. Description of Marriott International’s CSR Policies Comment by Paola Ossola: Before going into the details of CSR, remember to add also some information about the company

In the three spheres of social, environmental, and economic CSR, Marriott International has a distinct policy.

Marriott International’s commitment to social responsibility includes ensuring that its staff members have a safe and healthy work environment as well as increasing their skills and abilities through development and training.

2. Evaluations of Marriott International’s CSR Policies Comment by Paola Ossola: Before getting into the evaluations part, I would recommend you to analyze what the company is doing in terms of SDGs and GRI. This would give you the chance also to show what is missing, and from here you can evaluate and give recommendations Comment by Paola Ossola: In this evaluation tell precisely what they do that are good practices (and as a consequence STRENGTHS), and what are aspects that are missing or that they don’t good great (this could be later on the basis of the WEAKNESSES).

2.1 Strengths:

Society:

Marriott International is devoted to fostering diversity and inclusion in the workplace and to helping out local communities. By doing this, the business is better able to cultivate its stakeholder connections and improve its reputation.

Environment:

Marriott has implemented a number of initiatives to reduce its environmental impact, such as reducing energy and water consumption and promoting eco- friendly practices. This helps to reduce the company’s carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Economy:

Marriott International’s focus on driving business success and profitability has helped it to become one of the largest and most successful hotel companies in the world. The company’s investment in innovation and technology has also helped it to improve operations and enhance the guest experience.

2.2 Weaknesses:

Society:

While Marriott has made some progress in supporting local communities and promoting diversity, there is always room for improvement in these areas. For example, the company could do more to support human rights and ethical sourcing practices in its supply chain.

Environment:

Despite its efforts to reduce its environmental impact, Marriott International still has a significant carbon footprint. The company could do more to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainable tourism.

Economy:

Marriott International’s focus on business success and profitability has sometimes come at the expense of environmental and social considerations. The company could do more to balance its economic goals with its social and environmental responsibilities.

3. Recommendations

3.1 Long Term

Increased transparency in reporting activities and donations will show that the company is actually making a difference in the world. Comment by Paola Ossola: These are general, you can keep but then provide more insights into possible actions

To increase efficiency and make the best possible use of the limited resources available, implement more effective management practices.

In order to increase employee engagement, you should encourage your staff to get involved in socially conscious initiatives. This will increase their sense of pride and zeal.

To further the aims of shared social responsibility, expand relationships by working with local governments, communities, and other interested parties.

3.2 Short Term Comment by Paola Ossola: In terms of specific actions, what would you propose?

Assessing the current situation: by evaluating current social responsibility practices to identify future directions for improvement. Comment by Paola Ossola: This is your aim. So what is the current situation, what are future directions of improvement in specific actions?

Strengthen regulation: by strengthening the regulation of socially responsible activities to ensure they are in line with the company’s standards and policies.

Increase education and training: by providing education and training on social responsibility to employees to improve their literacy and competence.

Enhanced public relations: To enhance the company’s socially responsible image by strengthening relations with the public.

3.3 Conclusion Comment by Paola Ossola: You don’t need this, since your work continues later on with the action to propose

Marriott International has a high level of CSR completion. Marriott International, an industry leader in the hotel industry, takes seriously the three pillars of environmental, social, and economic responsibility. In the areas of employee relations, community involvement, environmental protection, and customer service, the corporation has made major contributions. Although there has been progress, there is always opportunity for development, including bolstering the business’ dedication to sustainability, upgrading employee working conditions, and increasing community involvement. Overall, Marriott International has accomplished a lot of its CSR objectives, but there is still opportunity for growth. The business needs to deepen its commitment in more ways and increase its social and environmental effect in order to boost its CSR fulfillment.
